Summary
My name is Alane Thomas. I have a Master’s degree in Social Work, a Master of Arts in Criminal Justice, and a clinical social work license. I have been in the social work field for 10 years and worked in the victim advocacy field for 2.5 years. I have worked with sexual assault survivors and domestic violence victims, families in child protective services, and clients in a behavioral health hospital setting, and have provided individual, couples, and family therapy in a private practice setting. I have had the opportunity to experience what goes into making decisions to protect children and adults who are at risk of or are actively experiencing abuse and neglect.
